The Main Event Series: Stowe Mountain, VT

It was a chilly day at Stowe Mountain, Saturday, January 31st for the fourthMain Event Stop of the season. With the sun shining and the wind howling,riders poured in to take their turn on SnowGrind’s newest creation. Thecourse began with a Flat-down box, a down-flat- down rail and a mini rainbowbox, which lead into a Flat box and a 30′ down rail. Those jibs were just thebeginning of the fun before approaching the triple booter…A 60 ft table with two booters on either sideof a 40 ft cruiser jump option. It was cold outside but the jumps were hot for sure.

Adjacent to the course, The Mini Main Event sported its own mini 20 ft jump.The groms showed up and threw down in their own 13 and under domain. Thewinner of the Women’s Pro division was a grom herself, that blew away all ofthe competition to the point of winning the top prize. Ty Walker from StoweVT, a young Roxy rider, killed it again for the second year in a row. Tywon the Vermont Main Event stop last season, and showed the judges that shehasn’t lost her edge this year. This 11 year old knows backside 360s likethe back of her hand. Keep your eyes on this one, she is sure to be one ofsnowboarding’s future golden girls.
